Our Children Need Truth to Live Abundantly

"Truth is the soul’s primary nourishment, but like any potent medicine, it must be dosed with precision.

We live in an era of fragile bubbles. In our desperate attempt to protect our children from the 'shadows,' we often starve them of the very reality they need for survival. When a child is fed only a fantasy, the eventual burst isn't just a surprise; it is a shattering. They find themselves standing in a world of deception and adult responsibility without the muscles to carry the weight.

Parents, our job isn't to shield them from the wind, but to help them grow deep roots. This isn't about what you lacked growing up—it's about the moral architecture you did have. We are trading time-tested foundations for 'diluted theories' that prioritize comfort over character.

My mother once told me, 'You didn’t come with an instruction book; I had to learn you.' In that moment, I realized that parenting isn't about perfection; it’s about the humble, daily work of building a moral code. Children need the 'digestible truth': that actions have echoes, that respect is a currency, and that bad behavior has no reward in the wild.

Let truth be the seat they sit on. If we don't teach them to eat it, demand it, and live it, we leave them starving in a world of plenty."
